BUET Introduction Introduction Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country and its economy strongly depends on the vagaries of the weather and in particular the extreme rainfall events. Access of rainfall causes flood. Less rainfall causes drought. ¤ Timely and well-distributed rainfall is essential for better crop production. d ti ¤ The erratic behavior of rainfall has an antagonistic effect. ¤ So the variability of extreme rainfall are very important for Bangladesh. Data — BMD three hourly rain gauge data from 34 station. — TRMM 3B42 V6 data. data — TRMM 3B42 V7 data. Study duration: 1998 to t 2010. 2010 Methods ¤ ¤ Different algorithm. GrADS and Surfer software are used. Rainfall threshold: Very Heavy ( > 88 mm/day) Heavy (44 - 88 mm/day) Moderately Heavy (23 - 43 mm/day) Moderate (11 - 22 mm/day) Light (2.5 - 10 mm/day) Location of rain gauge stations of BMD.
